Hey guys I have a serious problem. I'm going through front control arm bushings in record time. I already replaced the driver side arm once and the pass side twice in a year and a half because of this issue, and its not like I go 'wheeling anything either. The parts are cheap but the job is a serious PITA :mad: Has anyone had an issue like this?

Not sure what part you mean. Are you talking about the sway bar links?
I've replaced mine a few times as well, but it wasn't that difficult.
Also, what "issue" are you having?

No, I'm talking about the bushings in the front control arms. I think its ridiculous that they're wearing out in the space of six months

Something is wrong then... or inferior/cheap parts, get polyurethane ones, and you are good. But still they should be lasting easy 100k, not few months. I have polys on mine.
